Slettis Action movies bore me. when there are endless explosions etc I find my mind wandering and wanting to be somewhere else. I like a movie that makes you think. "What would I do in this situation?" I won't take time in pointing out flaws or critic-king the acting. In hindsight (spoiler)! this couple could have spent their last few hours/days together holding and comforting each other. Are they the only ones to have marital problems? No. Yet one of them hangs onto the notion that they could survive. Can I live without you? When it comes down to decision making, and that is what this movie is all about, people tend to choose life. This movie is also about time and love. What would you do or say when you know you have a limited amount of time left with your loved one. Do you say "It's been good to know you!" No, you would make small talk, just like in this movie. How do you say good buy when the person you love is just on the other side of the plastic? Spoiler!!!! she does ultimately kill him trying to save herself... but she will end up dying too so they both keep that survival instinct.
nhmom This movies has stayed with me since it's debut....it is always listed in my Top 10 and left me wondering what I would do in situations such as this more times than once. You would like to think you know yourself and what type of people we share our lives, our homes, neighborhoods and beds with....when it all comes down to it I don't think any of us can tell 100% what we would actually do in this situation unless we were dealing with it head on ourselves....this movie also makes it extremely clear that we don't always need all of the big budget explosions to be able to have an amazing movie...If it were up to me this movie would find it's way into every English class available!
matthewchermside Sorry, but I have to agree with a lot of reviews I read about this film. It starts well and drops dramatically into pointless tedium. I would never recommend this film to anyone. I do not consider it a good example of independent film-making.The way that Lexi comes and goes freely while the rest of the neighborhood is rounded up defies any logic. I really did not understand the point of the character of the neighbor's handyman. He served no purpose in the film at all, the character and his conversations with Brad contributed absolutely nothing. The character added nothing to the plot whatsoever. The character comes and then leaves, offering an explanation contrary to points he makes earlier in the film for seeking refuge in the first place, making no sense at all.The only positive is that Mary McCormack and Rory Cochrane really make a lot out of a truly awful script. The series of pointless conversations between the main protagonists loses all of the tension built in the opening 20 minutes but at no point did I think that their performances were poor. Good actors making the most of poor material.The ending was very clever, even if it was revealed in one mumbled line proffered by a faceless character in a HazMat suit, but by then I had given up caring about any of the characters at all and couldn't wait for the film to end. The ending would have made more sense if we had followed either Lexi or Brad through the whole experience (probably Lexi to be honest) just to have it all juxtaposed at the end. If the scriptwriters had mad Brad a total S.O.B. and Lexi a victim of his selfishness, then the ending may have had more shock value and currency.
amesmonde A poisonous bomb is set-off spreading a toxic cloud across Los Angeles. Brad seals himself in his house for his own survival, however, he becomes torn between letting his wife back in to their home or leaving her outside to die.Chris Gorak direction and camera work gives a sense of realism and he gives the viewer a cleverly written ending. There is some tension created especially when the gas masked army personnel want to get access to his house. Gorak's screenplay is dark and grim. It explores self-preservation, moral decisions and ones conscience.The acting is first rate and natural, Mary McCormack is great and Rory Cochrane is excellent as Brad, a normal everyday guy. However, Right at Your Door appears to run out of steam midway through, not knowing what to do with the characters.Carriers (2009) appears to have borrowed a lot from Gorak's offering, but like Carriers it's not a film you'd want to sit thought again.Overall, an emotional great idea that's well made but becomes monotonous.
